Bariatrics deals with the causes, prevention and treatment of obesity.
As someone loses massive amounts of weight, folds of redundant skin can only shrink so much around the abdomen, waist, legs, arms, breast, and neck. This can lead to a number of problems, including chronic skin irritation, intertrigo, and ulcerations
There are a number of procedures that can help improve the life of someone that has experienced these problems first hand, including the lower body lift, upper body lift, thigh lift, brachioplasty (arm lift), mastopexy (breast lift), gluteal lift (buttock lift), and face lifts. Dr. Maas has an extensive network of plastic surgeons in Northern and Southern California specializing in post-bariatric plastic surgery.
